One of my more unusual street photography encounters!
I'm in town for lunch with a friend and arrive early to take some pictures of the 'Knife Angel'. Walking across Victoria Square afterwards I bump into a small team shooting a film, and being naturally curious I stop to chat.
It transpires the young man standing next to the legendary, 'Dusty Bin' is none other than Danny Rogers, son of TV presenter Ted Rogers. Older readers may remember the game show, '3-2-1' with it's strangely mesmorising finger signalling. Things seemed so much simpler back then!
The show made Ted Rogers a millionaire, but after its ten year run, which ended in 1988 Ted fell on hard times. Danny is making a film about his father's rags-to-riches-to-rags story and how it affected his own life. He's in town for a short performance of 'Bin and Gone' and the filming is being carried out by ITV.
Danny is super friendly and I'm sure his father would be very proud of him!
